Not showing as well as previous bottles - much more dumb and less exhuberance on the palate. I guess at this age there will be a touch of bottle variation.

Deep honeyed colour - at first shy nose, but time in glass and this wine blossoms - flinty, minerally laden nose with notes of honey, melon and white flowers. Rich but also firm in the mouth with salted butter and striking minerality. Very long finish. Excellent wine and excellent value for money at £30. A step above anything I have drunk from the new world at this price. Still has time on its side so no rush to drink.

(Mostly) Burgundy Dinner with Friends (Hughes House - Chicago IL): At this age (20+ yo), I would not call it "prematurely oxidized" because 2001s were never meant to last 20+ years. But this was well past its peak.
